Assorted - 1965 to 1972 - Vietnam combat equipment

Post by Ben »

Yes, odd I know ... but some of you may have a camo fetish.

I've got assorted infantry equipment from the vietnam period for sale, so if there are any collectors amongst you, I've got basically everything you could need.

An example of prices.

excellent - 1968 dated, lightweight ruck with all straps 195
mint - 1968 dated, tropical ruck (minus frame) 50

Repro - Tigerstripe marine advisor, trousers, shirt, boonie hat 75
Repro - Duckhunter Korean marine advisor, trousers, shirt, cap 75

mint - 1966 dated, jungle boots size US 12, UK 11 60
mint - M16 Bandoliers, 7 mags, 7 mags, 4 5.56 per mag 70

You get the picture.

I have everything from body armour, through to socks, rations through to grenades.

Nothing odd about it. I bet some of the kit you have there is very useable and hard wearing. Mass manufactured clothes these days don't last very long and seem to fall apart quite easily.

Body armour sounds cool though....you never know when you're going to get shot these days in a drive-by in Dereham :D

Don't know about the rifles and ammo though Rambo old chap :stallone:
Buggers cancelled my op just a couple of days before it was due. Inconsiderate barstewards!! :rant:

I'd be inclined to keep it in case Putin gets ideas above his station and beyond Georgia :D
